Top-level domain
.world domains
Global reach and community on .world
.world is a generic top-level domain that signals global scope, international audiences, and community. It is open to everyone with no registration restrictions, so anyone can register an available name. Unlike .ai or .co, it is a true generic gTLD (launched in 2015 and run by Identity Digital, formerly Donuts), not a repurposed country code, so there is no national association to manage around. The word itself is meaningful, which makes .world read well for global brands, nonprofits and causes, travel and culture projects, events, fan communities, and products that want an international feel. It also works as a short suffix when the literal phrase fits, for example yourname.world or a project that is "for the world." The main trade-off is familiarity: visitors still expect .com, so you may want the matching .com for email and type-in traffic if it is available. There are no special DNS or HTTPS rules like .dev or .app impose. Pricing varies by registrar, and registration and renewal rates can differ, so it is worth comparing before you buy.
